As we enter the homestretch of the holiday shopping season, it’s
time to take a look at some of the smartphone apps to help us
stay better organized. From organizing gift cards and rewards
cards to apps to track your deliveries, check out the apps you
need to survive these final few stressful days of holiday
shopping:

1. Predict the prices of items

The Decide app gives user and
expert reviews for a variety of electronics, computers,
televisions and appliances. The app will even tell you if the
price of the item is expected to rise or drop in the near future,
this way you can either make the purchase now or wait a week or
two when the price drops. If you follow the app’s recommendations
and make a purchase, but the price drops two weeks later, the app
will pay you the difference! Price: Free

2. Organize your rewards and loyalty cards Our
key chains and wallets tend to be flooded with loyalty and
rewards cards from department stores, supermarkets and
pharmacies. With the Key Ring Rewards
Card app, users can take a picture of each card and the
app will digitally store the card, this way you don’t have to
carry the cards in your wallet. And then when you want to use the
card, the cashier at the store can simply scan the bar code on
the smartphone that corresponds to the card you want to use.

3.Track your
deliveries As we shop online this holiday season, it can
get confusing and stressful to track each delivery.
The Posted app aggregates your
shipments – simply enter the tracking number of each package and
the app maintains one list of all your shipments, along with the
expected delivery time so you know when to expect the
delivery. Price: 99 cents 4.
Tracking how much you spend on gifts We know how
important it is to make a shopping list of the gifts you plan to
buy your friends and family, but it’s best to make this list on
the Giftedapp. You
can enter the names of each person on your shopping list and add
a specific gift and budget. You can even add special notes like
clothing and shoe sizes or the names of specific products, in
case you forget. And the app will even alert you if you’re
spending beyond your budget, so this is a great way to stay
organized while you’re shopping for gifts. Price: $2.99

5. Organize your gift cards

Sometimes we stuff our gift cards inside our wallets or throw
them in a draw to never be found again. The Tango
CardiPhone app lets users enter
in the card’s balance, pin and card number – there’s no need to
carry around the cards with you to the store. When it comes time
to redeem the card, some stores will be able to scan the bar code
on the app – or the retailer can manually enter in the pin and
card number to access the value of the card. The app will even
send you emails to remind you to use the gift cards. Price:
